Description

These Fudgy Pecan Brownies are rich, dense, and packed with deep chocolate flavor. The crunchy, buttery pecans add the perfect contrast to the gooey, fudgy center, making them an irresistible treat for any chocolate lover. Perfect for parties, holidays, or when you need a quick chocolate fix!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 8 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped (or 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips)
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 4 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup chopped pecans (plus extra for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prep:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Melt Butter & Chocolate:
    In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chopped chocolate together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients:
    In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
  4. Combine:
    Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar and egg mixture, whisking constantly until well combined.
  5. Add Dry Ingredients:
    Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the mixture with a spatula until just combined—don’t overmix for maximum fudginess.
    Fold in the chopped pecans.
  6. Bake:
    Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle extra pecans on top for added crunch.
    Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
  7. Cool & Serve:
    Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • Extra Fudgy: Slightly underbake by 2 minutes for an ultra-gooey texture.
  • Flavor Boost: Add a pinch of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
